also shows how careful the Board is to

THE LABOR PaRTN's DANGER.

From John Swinton's Paper
There can no longer be any doubt that there Is
very grave danger OF dsunion In the labor party
OF this State, and Of some other localities. The
signs Of disunion have been perceptibe within
the past few months. We regret To say that the
responsibility for IL lies with certain managers Of
the ring who are running the "Georse party" In
this city, and who, after copying tine example OF
the dog In the manager, have now adopted the
policy OF rule OF ruin
Ever since these managers" managed 10 pre-
vent the sending OF delegates from the labor
party OF New York 10 the National Union Confer
ence in Cincinnati, last February, they have

MOVEMENT N CANADA TO SILENCE THE HOME RULER.
Two hundred enthusiastic Irishmen went down
New York Bay yesterday morning to meet VIM.
O'Brien, the eminent Irish editor and agitator,
who was expected on the Umbria, which, how
ever, they did not meet, the steamer not being on
time. A special from Ottawa says: ''There is a
strong impression in political circles here that the
government intends to prevent MT. VIM. OBrien
from speaking In public. The idea gains coniir-
nation from the fact that the French papers
which are organs OF ministers have been at work
for several days preaching that the sole purpose OF
MI. O'Brien's visit is to make trouble, and that
Lord LanSdowne, as the representative OF the
queen, must be protected. LErene7aent, which is
he quebec organ OF Sir Adolph Carun, minister Of
militia, plainly states that Mr.. OBrien will be
prevented from speaking. Archbishop Lynch, OF
Toronto, who is IN ardent home ruler has con-
demned MIR. O'Brien's purpose. LEfendard the
organ OF Archbishop Fabre, also denounces the
proposed agitation. Soft is evident that the Cath
Olic clerics fear that Mr.. O'BrenS speeches may
lead to breach OF the peace When the fact is also
borne In mind that the Hon. Mackenzie Bowel,
minister or customs, and the Hon. ThoS. White,
minister OF the Interior red-hOt orangemen the
character OF the reception TO be given the editor o
United Ireland may easily be imagined"

The following is furnished the Associated Press
by Jno. P. sutton, secretary OF the Irish National
League OF America:
Jno. Fitzgerald, president OF the Irish National
League OF America, recently submitted the London
Times fac sinile OF the alleged Parnen letter. to-

Egan, in the handwriting OF richard PSott. form

mlttee consisting OF Gov. Thayer, Treasurer Will

PRESIDENT OF the Irish National League OF America
Gareiuly examined the fac sinile published In the

also letters signed Richard P1gott, addressed
TO Patrick Egan, dated June 25, 1873, December
ana y, 1880, January II, 1881, and March 8,
1881 also an Enclosure contained In said letter OF
Marcn y, 1881, and we have no hesitation in say
ing tnat the alleged fac siie and the said letters
ana Enclosure were written by the same hand"
Inc documents referred to were letters from
plgott, wherein he tried to blackmail the league,
through its treasurer, under the pretense that
ne had been offered 500 shillings by alleged agents
or Dublin Castle TO publish fictitious articles in
relation TO the league fund for the purpose OF dis
credlt1ng the league, and the letter to him from
tnese agents which he tnclosed as proof OF his
statement. In his letter to the treasurer OF the
league Pgott said he was on the verge OF financial
ruin and must have money. He would suppress
the Dublin Castle article, however II the league
WOULD make him temporary loan OF 300 shillings.
IneSe letters and the fac sintile OF Parnell'S al
Ieged letter the committee above named believe to
DC IN the handwriting or the same man.

The application for the order was accompanied
by an affidavit signed earlier in the day 10y Geo.

NTH reSiduary clause In the will is illegal and
void, and that in respect TO the property Therein
mentioned Mr. Tflden died intestate. He says the
reSiduary estate aggregates several millions, and
the pecunary responsibility OF the executors and
trustees is small and utterly inadequate TO make
good to him the loss he would sustain IL the thirty

judged invalid, and the property therein men,

Miss BaIlOu Released.

THE STORY OF HER TROUBLES TOLD IN COURT.
Judge Barrett, in Supreme Court Chambers,
New York, heard argument Saturday on the
motion to vacate the order OF arrest or reduce bail
Tor Miss Jeanette BallOu who is in Ludlow street
JAIL and against whom suit has been brought by
Mrs. Anthony for the alienation OF Lawyer David
Anthony's affections. Counsel for Mrs Anthony
SAID That II he had known OF Miss BallOu'S delicate
condltlon tshe recently gave birth to child he
would not have insisted upon her arrest. He ex-
pressed Willingness to withdraw opposition to the
motion II Miss BallOu would execute an fnstru-
ment that would secure in her grandfather's
estate any Judgment that his client might obtain.
MT Miiliken replied that Miss Ballou was the
seduced, not the seducer. She was q simple
country girl, and had been brought up to trust
every ody. Anthony's persistent solicitations
seemed to have been Inevitable. When she ran
away from him to Utica the lawyer said Anthony
followed her, told her he and his wife were to nix
up separation, and seduced her under the
promise OF marriage: Judge Barrett reduced the
bail TO $780, and said that while jury might con-
clude that Miss BallOu did not resent Anthonys
attentions, 1t was doubtful II plaintiff could ever
get a verdict. Later she gave the $500 bail re-
Qu1red and was released from iatl
